Unwanted white lines and boxes in PDFs viewed on ios

hello - i have been having some serious issues with creating pdfs for mac users.
on windows they look great - no matter what settings i use - however i have been getting feedback that on a mac there are verticle lines or thin white boxes around text within tables.
no matter what settings i try i simply cannot get the pdfs to look like they do on windows machines. i cant understand why they would look different!
i am using word 2010 and acrobat 9 pro.
i have tried toggling 'smooth images' - ensurting i have no cropped images on the page - i have tried just about everything.
if i print to PDF - the vertical lines appear. if i 'save as' PDF the vertical lines are not visible, however the white boxes appear around text. i cant win!
i would appreciate any assistance. if i cant get this to work i will lose this client.
thank you.

hello,
thanks for your response. i have uploaded two versions:
Print to PDF
Save as PDF
Print to PDF is when i print to PDF from Word. this results in the horizontal white lines as seen from page 2 onwards.
Save as is when i save as PDF from Word. this results in the boxes around text within the tables.
please note that my customer will not accept the fact that they use use preview as an excuse. they view many PDFs a day without these problems - in fact they can create their own PDFs from Word and they do not have these lines.
additionally, i have an iphone, and if you view these PDFs on iphone, you can see the lines. unfortunately many of their clients use iphones. so i really need to be able to create these PDFs without these lines.
i appreciate any help you can provide.
thank you.
Mark.

Firefox not loading correctly, getting black and white lines and boxes onother network comp. it loads ok

Firefox loaded on laptop along with another computer on home comutor - on mine when firefox is selected it loads with black lines and boxes along with all titles it will allow me to use the programme. When I load the same programme on second computer it loads correctly.
This has only occurred this week.
does the resolution setting affect this?

Again, my original post specifically asks what else I can check for in prefs.js. I don't know what to look for. I suspect that something has hung-around somewhere, but don't know what to look for in the prefs file to detect it. No malware or anti-virus software detects anything other than the prefs.js file itself. Safe mode fixes the problem. So obviously something is starting up with FF in normal mode which is causing this, but no clue where/what to look for at this point.

Good workflow to avoid white lines and discolored boxes with transperancy?

I'm somewhat new to Illustrator. I have designs in illustrator CS4 that contain objects with drop shadows that are on top of gradient backgrounds. When I save out the artwork as a PDF file I see random faint white lines and discolored boxes around the objects with the drop shadows. When I print proofs of the file on my HP3500 color laser printer I see the white lines and discolored boxes as well. I'm afraid the the lines will show up in production when I send off to the printer. Here's what I'm doing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
(Document Raster Effects Settings: Resolution-High 300ppi/Background: Transperant/Options: preserve spot colors, add 12.7mm around object)
1. Save file as PDF from Illustrator CS4
2. PDF Settings
a. PDF Preset: PDF /xa:2001
b. Advanced Overprint and Transperancy flatener options: Preset-High Resolution
When viewed and printed from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro there are white stiching lines that are visible.
Do I need to worry about these? Or will they go away when sent to a better printer?
Thanks for the help.

Try "Press Quality" Acrobat 5 compatable setting for "live" transparency. You can also try PDF/X-4 2008 which maintains live transparency and, in CS4, maintain Acrobat 5 compatability. PDF-X1 is a setting that "flattens" transparency which may limit your output options, depending on final output device. Double check your raster settings and make sure it is set for 300ppi/2400dpi and not 72ppi/300dpi. As suggested by Wade, your printer may not be a Postscript Level 3 output device with a RIP. So, the driver may not be screening the artwork properly and the stitching shows up in output. You may benefit from taking the file to a prepress shop and have them output a "contract" proof. If the stitching shows up in the contract proof, then the PDF setup may be the problem or the original file itself.

     Hi Frank.
     I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
     However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
     Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

Lines and Boxes in Pages. Please help!

I created a poster in Pages and it is printing with all kinds of lines and boxes behind the text and images. When I go into the doc I do not see them there. Where is this coming from and how do I get rid of them?
thank you!

Thanks Jerry.
Yes, I started with a Layout template. Yes, I did copy some text from Word - and this is some of the text with the problem so I will try deleting it and typing in the original text. But other parts that I am having problems with seems to be the previous boxes which were there as the template that I deleted - somehow their 'shadows' seem to still be there but only shows in print but not on my screen. If there is any other info I can provide to help you help me, please let me know!
thanks again Jerry,
Robyn

Is there a way to get rid of those "red lines and boxes" that surround email text?

The red lines and boxes I refer to in the question do not cause any real problems, but editing email, cut and pasting, etc., can get a little complicated with them appearing in the text of an email. I couldn't see any setup or option that referred to these red lines and boxes. Can they be eliminated? Thanks!

You are seeing combing arifacts due to the computer monitor's inability to display interlaced video correctly.
This is particularly noticable when the Canvas is set to a size value other than 100%.
If the end product is meant to be put back on DVD and shown on a TV it will not be an issue, if you are going to the web, change your field dominance to none in the Sequence settings before exporting (or in Compressor, which will do a better job).
Don't change it while editing - this will mean you have to constantly render.

How to display Lines and Boxes in SAP Script

hi,
Can any one help me how to display Lines and Boxes in SAP Script.
Regards
kiran

The SAP printer drivers based on page-oriented printers use these commands when creating output whereas the line printers and non-supported page-oriented printers ignore these commands.
Syntax:/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
This command draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
WIDTH determines the width of the box.
Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
HEIGHT determines height of the box.
Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
FRAME determines the thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
INTENSITY determines the box contents as a grayscale percentage.
Default: 100 (full black)
The other details I guess is provided by friends who have posted before me.

K.Sibi

White lines and missing colour in extruded text

hello, i know this question has be asked many time but i havent found a solution as yet. I am usinf Cs5
I am finding these white lines in t he 3d part of the text and missing colour in the text itself. This occurs when viewing in illustator itself and when saved as pdf and jpg.
I have noticed a solution has been to flatten the image or rastarize it. This does not give me the quality i want, and to me defeats the purpose of doing something in illustror cancels out the ability to resize.
I need a solution ASAP as client needs their logo

I hadnt reliase the grey/white lines was coming from somehting underneath! It wouldnt give me the option to expand appearannce, so just expanded it. When i tried to clean up the paths it said no clean up was needed. So now i am just recolouring all the white/grey parts i can find.
Thanks again! it was doing my head in!!!

Hairline white line around images in PDF for press

CS3, Windows XP
I searched the forum and didn't find this exact question, so..., I place PSD file in ID. When I export to PDF for the press run, I get a thin hairline white box around the photo. It only seems to happen when the placed image is over a gradient. It also only happens on PDF files for press run - either Press Quality or PDF/X-1a:2001. When I export to "Smallest File Size" it looks fine. I have the border of the image set to 0 and the color to None.
And it only seems to happen sometimes. A month or so ago I created a similar piece using different photos, but the same gradient background and it looked and printed fine.
Thoughts?
JAG

The stitching and a grey box was showing up on my press proofs. The printer suggested that I flatten the image before I send it to them.
Sometimes I see in on screen and sometimes I don't, but my printer says they see it every time and that it will show up on the proof. I've been trying several different PDF exporting options in ID. We are getting the proofs done correctly, but there's only one guy at my printer that can get the file corrected. I'm not sure exactly what he is doing, but one of the people I deal with suggested that he was opening the file in PS, flattening it again, and exporting to PDF, again.
He's the boss and not alway around, so I'm trying to figure out how I can get file exported correctly.
Thanks for your help.

White lines appearing on certain PDF's???

Certain PDF's when opened in Acrobat Pro 9 are appearing with white lines to the right and the bottom of the document. However these lines do not exist when opened in other programs or other computers with Acrobat 9. Also these lines never print. Does anyone else have this issue or any possible solutions? Thanks.

It is best not to Flatten in InDesign, but to Flatten on the RIP (Raster Image Processor), that can only be done when you PDF as Acrobat 4 (or Print). Adobe recommends that your print shop handle flattening.
No, you can not take an already flattened file and un-flatten it. Sorry. When flattening occurs, the entire page is divided into rectangular chunks for the output device, causing the white lines to appear where these rectangles intersect. They can not be re-assembled into the original components.
Creating PostScript is what causes these lines. No PostScript device can natively handle un-flattened files. Only the PDF Print Engine (on newer devices) handles un-flattened transparency. Your print shop may or may not have upgraded to the newest technology.
This document gives a thorough overview of Transparency:

**HELP** Unwanted white lines/shapes appear when Brush tool is used

I have been using Photoshop Elements for several years and I really liked it.But just recently I found out that in Photoshop Elements 10, whenever I use Brush or Smart Brush Tools, unwanted white ines/dots/shapes appear on the pictures. This is driving me crazy! What went wrong?? I've done the following:
Reset all preferences by clicking Ctrl + Alt + Shift
Reset all tools.
Restart my computer.
Nothing worked! Please help!!!
I have attached the original and the picturec problems below:
Original: very clean background
Problem: What are those lines??????

Yes I did solve the problem!
Thanks to everyone that suggested things, but none of them worked. In the end it was Wacom, yes... WACOM that solved the problem. Even though it was an Adobe Photoshop issue as far as I could tell. So thank you Wacom, you helped me when I needed it most.
So now to the vital solution:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding pen tool in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Please try the step below for reset CS3
For MAC, please hold pressing command + alt+ shift, then open Photoshop.
Get the CS3 update. Start CS3 while holding.
If the problem remains, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 again."
Worked the first time for me. So spread the word! This issue shall trouble people no more, a solution has been found!

When I turn on my iPod Touch 5th generation, half of the screen has vertical white lines and it is irresponsive to the touch... is there anyway this can be fixed because this is my third time in the last 4 months I have had problems with Apple.

The screen looks completely normal besides the vertical white lines on the right hand side of the screen, as the "slide to unlock" is lighting up and the time and date are changing, but the screen is unresponsive. After several problems with Apple in the last few months (and two defective iPods including this one and one iPhone), I really don't want to go through the whole process of bringing it in or getting a new one entirely. It would greatly help if someone knows a solution, even if that would require completely resetting the iPod to factory settings, as I have had is synced to iTunes before. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like a bad digitizer or connection or logic board.

No matter what website I am on all of a sudden the page will be covered in black and white lines and I can't see any of the page. What is happening and how do I fix it? It has only started since I loaded Firefox 4 this week.

I am very frustrated because I keep having my pages become covered completely in black and white lines. It has even happened on this page when I tried to use the drop down arrow by 'this happened'. I can sometimes read the page if I click over the area I want to read but this is not common. This has only been happening since I downloaded Firefox 4. I thought this would be a better version but now I am not so sure.

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !
